I think that there will come a time when people will ask of the
Indian media: What were you doing in those five years when a
government came to power that spread hate and poison, that
controlled the media, what were you doing then? And very few in
the Indian media will be able to hold their heads up and say that we
were calling the powerful to account. I think Caravan is one of the
few magazines that will be able to hold its head up, if it stays afloat.
And I hope it stays afloat, which is why I’m saying, please read

I love reading The Caravan, because the kind of reportage it
does, is away from the din of fast news, of something which is
out there, every news hour to debate upon. It’s delivery of news
which takes two steps back, goes back to the basic principles of
reportage. Yes, sometimes I do not agree with the ideology, the
ideological slant that the stories take. But overall, the way in
which the reportage is done is something that one really looks
forward to.
